Jamie Carragher has hinted that he is expecting Erling Haaland to topple Thierry Henry as one of the Premier League ’s best ever players following his electric start to life at Manchester City.
The Norwegian has enjoyed a seamless adaptation to the top-flight of English football since his move from Borussia Dortmund. Haaland has scored nine goals in his opening five appearances in the Premier League - a run that includes back-to-back hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
That form inevitably sees him lead the early goalscoring standings and despite the 22-year-old being only a matter of weeks into his Premier League career, Carragher is already predicting Haaland to forge a reputation as one of the all-time greats.
